The Forever Sky by Thomas Peacock (English) Hardcover Book

Description: The Forever Sky by Thomas Peacock, Annette S. Lee Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Two young Ojibwe brothers look to the stars and spin stories, some inspired by Uncle and some of their own making, as they remember their grandmother. This story not only celebrates the night skies as seen through Native eyes over millennia but also traces a path through grief to comfort in a satisfying afterlife. Full color. Publisher Description "Nookos spirit is there in the stars," says Niigaanii to his younger brother, Bineshiinh, as they sprawl in a meadow, gazing skyward. "Uncle said when Nooko: s spirit left this world it went there." Nooko was their grandmother, and they miss her. But Uncle helps them find comfort in the night sky, where all the stars have stories. Indeed, there are so many stars and so many stories that the boys spend night after night observing and sharing, making sense of patterns and wisdom in "the forever sky." They see a moose, a loon, a crane, the Path of Souls, and so much more. One night, a beautiful show of lights fills the sky. Niigaanii explains that the northern lights are the spirits of the relatives who have passed on. The boys imagine different relatives dancing, lighting up the sky with their graceful movements. And then they see her: Nooko is one of the elders leading the dance. She has a message for them. One they can share with their parents and their uncle and everyone else who remembers her. One that lends power to the skies and brings smiles to the stargazers faces.
